from reading to a decision

use the workbooks in sequence

01

define your brief

start with your intended impact, interests, constraints and decision process. distinguish what you prefer from what would prevent a commitment.

02

organise the evidence

use the diligence workbook to separate company, manager and structure questions. assign checks and preserve unresolved matters.

03

start a conversation

share a concise introduction and your most important questions. retain personal financial and identity records until an appropriate process is agreed.
